An Analysis on Conceptualizations of “Anger” in English and Chinese Based on Embodied Semantics
Abstract
Justifies the holistic view about body and mind underlying the traditional Chinese medicine through seeking evidence from interoceptive
neuroscience. According to the cutting-edge theories of emotions, represented by James-Lange’s theory of bodily reaction to feelings, inter_x005foception theory and Mayer’s brain-gut axis theory, to name only a few, those interior organs such as well as gastrointestinal tracts are almost
all involved in the production and perception of feelings. As a matter of fact, an emotion consists of four components, namely, cognition,
feelings, bodily reactions and behavior. based on related theories such as brain-gut axis, “anger” evokes the physiological response activates
the corresponding brain regions through the interconnection between brain and gut, which also justifies the holistic view on body, brain and
emotions lying in traditional Chinese medicine.
